Wallpaper for the Guest Bath

I am working on material selections for our guest bathroom. I had hoped to get started on it this winter, but Jackson took this semester off because his classes were still all online and junior level engineering classes in a virtual setting seemed like a bad idea to all of us. So, we are working towards this project maybe happening in early 2022. I am pretty well set on using a classic black and white tile scheme, but I do want to amp up the fun and playfulness with some wallpaper above the tile on the walls. There won’t be much wallpaper, so I can go pretty funky. I would like to bring in one of the greens that I’ve used in other parts of the house by painting the existing vanity.

Here are some of the papers that I have found that I like:

Fairytales Black Wallpaper
Woodland Trees and Birds
Aviary
Marius Off White Sailor’s Know
Nala Multicolor Feathers
Greenhouse Green Leaves
Pinkins White Retro Camera
Contabilidad Blanco

Which one would you choose? What are your second and third choices?

  1. 1) green leaves = simplest, very YOU, great color for towels, etc.

    2) feathers = close second! = even better color range, very simple, natural

    3) birds and trees = color and theme suit you, but could look a little too ditzy/indeterminate/trees are too small.

    I love me some whimsy, but the others are just too crowded and too monochromatic.

    My mother wallpapered a bathroom with my father ONCE. She said it was a wonder they stayed married. 😆

    1. Yes, apparently you know me pretty well as I would have ranked them similarly. I think the feathers are funny because I have a bird print on one of the chairs in the great room and the runners and one of the other fabrics look like stylized feathers.
      I found this one yesterday…

      It is super fun. I like that it is pastel…..but the print is really big and may not work where I want to use it because I plan to tile about 2/3 up the wall, and there will be crown molding.
      Mike and I will not be hanging the wallpaper…..for the same reason as you describe–not good for our marriage.

  2. 1. Leaves—they are simple and clean.
    2. Aviary or Fairytale—for the funk
    3. I like the cameras, but may be disconcerting in a bathroom😁
